I've noticed that over the years as the wars have drawn down, that the military bares a huge brunt of the cutbacks. It's almost like a slap in the face....you fought and bled for our country but now we're gonna minimize your pay and benefits and possibly release you with no warning at all.

If we join our military forces out of selfless service, truly out of selfless service and after the major combat operations are over and we "right size" our force (meaning reducing the redundancy across our force) it would make sense that it would include reducing the force. This is not a slap in the face and should not be taken that way whatsoever. It is a cyclical event following the end of major combat operations - those remaining in our military should be the best within our military. Do not take the reduction of forces as a slap in the face, take this opportunity to challenge yourself to be the best you can be....for instance, while at Fort Hood, take the challenge to gain entry into the Sergeant Audie Murphy Club.
